At a glance

Here is where 1Lookup wins against Alpha Vantage, and where Alpha Vantage still wins.

Both give you a public company's financial statements. Alpha Vantage is a market-data API with an income statement, a balance sheet and a cash flow function that each take a symbol, plus earnings, prices and more, on a free key and on plans priced by requests a minute. 1Lookup returns the finished annual summary in one call from a ticker, a CIK number or a company name, billed from one shared credit balance only when the SEC holds annual statements.

1lookupWhere 1Lookup wins

One call from a ticker, a CIK number or a company name returns the finished summary of all three statements, where Alpha Vantage needs three requests per company and takes a symbol
A company the SEC holds no annual statements for, a private company and a lookup the SEC could not answer cost nothing, and a CSV with a company column returns one row per company
1Lookup's terms license the service and its results for your internal business purposes, where Alpha Vantage's Terms of Service license 'personal, non-commercial use' unless you agree otherwise in writing
The same key and balance also pay for phone, email and IP validation, with no requests-a-minute plan to size

What it costs

From $4.00

per 1,000 company lookups; $9.90 on Starter

Alpha VantageWhere Alpha Vantage wins

The statement functions are on the free key: INCOME_STATEMENT, BALANCE_SHEET, CASH_FLOW and SHARES_OUTSTANDING carry no Premium label in the documentation, while OVERVIEW does, and a free key has 25 requests a day.
Each statement response holds annual and quarterly reports, with 'normalized fields mapped to GAAP and IFRS taxonomies of the SEC', and SHARES_OUTSTANDING returns quarterly diluted and basic share counts.
Earnings history returns annual and quarterly EPS, with analyst estimates and surprise metrics on the quarterly data, which a statements lookup does not carry.
Prices and market data on the same key: the premium page lists realtime and 15-minute delayed US market data and realtime or end-of-day options data by plan.
Premium has no daily limit and the page says there are no surprise overage charges; annual plans are listed as 2 months off.

What it costs

75 API requests per minute at $49.99 a month ($499 a year on the annual plan): 15-minute delayed US market data, end-of-day options data, no daily limit and premium support

Short answer

Alpha Vantage gives a free key 25 API requests a day and sells premium plans from $49.99 a month for 75 requests a minute with no daily limit, and prints no price per request. 1Lookup's SEC Company Facts costs 2 credits, about $0.010 on Starter, and returns a company's annual financials from a ticker, CIK or name, charged only when annual statements are found.

What replaces what

Here is which 1Lookup product matches each Alpha Vantage job.

Alpha Vantage sells a request rate, with a separate function for each statement. This is the same job as a single API call on a shared credit balance, charged only when the SEC holds annual statements for the company.

INCOME_STATEMENT, BALANCE_SHEET and CASH_FLOW functions
SEC Company Facts API
A ticker, a CIK number or a company name in; the company's name, CIK, exchange and currency, the latest fiscal year's revenue, gross profit, operating income, net income, total assets, total liabilities, equity, cash, long-term debt, operating cash flow and diluted earnings per share, revenue growth, net margin, shares outstanding and public float, the newest quarter and up to five years of revenue, net income and total assets out, in one call instead of three. A company with no annual statements is not charged.
2 credits per company found, free when the SEC holds no annual statements for it

A real result

This is what one 1Lookup result looks like.

Send a ticker, a CIK number or a name
POST one of the three. A CIK number is 1 to 10 digits. A malformed CIK number or an empty request is refused with a clear error and costs nothing.
We read the company's filed figures
A ticker or a name is matched to a CIK number in the SEC's list of registered companies, then the company's facts file is read and summarized. Each figure is taken at the latest fiscal year-end and held to one currency.
Get the summary, flat and structured
Revenue, profit, balance sheet, growth, shares and the five-year history arrive in one JSON payload. A company with annual statements bills 2 credits, and one without them bills nothing.

Questions

People ask these questions before they switch from Alpha Vantage.

What is Alpha Vantage used for?

Market data for apps, research and trading tools. Its premium page lists realtime and 15-minute delayed US market data and realtime or end-of-day options data by plan, and its documentation has functions for income statements, balance sheets, cash flow, share counts and earnings history next to prices.

How does Alpha Vantage pricing work?

Checked October 2026: a free key allows 25 API requests per day for the majority of endpoints, and the premium page lists five monthly plans priced by requests a minute: 75 for $49.99, 150 for $99.99, 300 for $149.99, 600 for $199.99 and 1200 for $249.99 a month. Annual plans are $499, $999, $1499, $1999 and $2499 a year, marked '2 months off'. Premium lists 'No daily limits' and 'No surprise overage charges'. No price per request is printed.

How much does 1Lookup charge for a company's financials?

2 credits per company found, free when the SEC holds no annual statements for it. On the Starter plan ($99 a month for 20,000 credits) a company is about $0.010, which covers 10,000 companies a month and is $9.90 per 1,000. At the Enterprise end of the rate card it is about $0.004. Alpha Vantage is the cheaper bill: its free key costs nothing and its first premium plan is $49.99 a month, against $99 for a Starter month.

How many companies can an Alpha Vantage free key cover in a day?

About 8 companies a day if you want all three statements for each. The income statement, balance sheet and cash flow are three separate functions, so one company takes three requests against the 25 a day on a free key (25 divided by 3, worked out from the printed limit). A premium plan has no daily limit. 1Lookup returns the headline figures of all three statements for a company in one lookup.

What does Alpha Vantage return, and what does 1Lookup return?

Each statement function returns annual and quarterly reports with 'normalized fields mapped to GAAP and IFRS taxonomies of the SEC', SHARES_OUTSTANDING returns quarterly diluted and basic share counts, and an earnings function returns annual and quarterly EPS with analyst estimates and surprise metrics on the quarterly data. 1Lookup returns one finished summary per company: the latest fiscal year's headline figures from all three statements, growth and margin, shares outstanding and public float, the newest quarter's revenue and net income, and up to five years of revenue, net income and total assets.

Can Alpha Vantage look a company up by its CIK number?

The statement functions take symbol, function and apikey, and the documentation lists no CIK parameter. The company overview function, which returns company information, financial ratios and key metrics, is labelled Premium. 1Lookup takes a ticker, a CIK number or a company name, and a CIK number finds a company that no longer trades and so has no ticker.

Can a company use Alpha Vantage's data in its business?

Read the terms against your use. The Terms of Service (2.a) license use 'for personal, non-commercial use, unless you and Alpha Vantage have agreed otherwise in writing', and count it as commercial use if you use it 'as or on behalf of a corporation' or provide the information 'as part of any type of commercial activity' that lets others access it. Commercial use goes through premium@alphavantage.co. 1Lookup's terms license the service and its results for your internal business purposes and do not allow resale or redistribution.

What is the best Alpha Vantage alternative?

If you want prices, earnings and statements behind one free key for a personal project, Alpha Vantage is the simpler purchase. If you have a ticker, a CIK or a name and want a public company's latest annual revenue, profit and balance sheet in one call for business use, with a miss costing nothing, 1Lookup's SEC Company Facts bills 2 credits only when annual statements are found.

Where does Alpha Vantage beat 1Lookup?

On price, history and breadth. The statement functions are on the free key, each response holds annual and quarterly reports, earnings history carries analyst estimates and surprise metrics, and the same key reaches prices and options data. The support page also gives unlimited API requests to verified open-source or educational projects, and a premium plan has no daily limit. 1Lookup returns the headline figures for one company's latest year and has no prices.

Is Alpha Vantage worth it in 2026?

For a personal project that needs prices and statements for a few symbols a day, yes: the free key covers it. For business use, check the terms first, then compare the per-company price of 1Lookup with a request rate you would size for that one job.
